"No. I am not." Hanh-Phuong had a little smile and said.

"Every young man looked at you when you step through the
door.

Do you know that?"

"No. I thought they well come Hung, my brother in law."

"I thought they welcome you, even me..."

"Thanks."

"Are you a student of Law school?" In a soft voice, Phong asked.

"Yes. the second year, but how do you know?"

"My-Loan, my young sister."

Hanh-Phuong looked at his face and smile.

"Oh..."

Suddenly, Phong and Hanh-Phuong sight eyes met each other. It
made Hanh-Phuong looked at Phong's face and thought of Nguyen.

"Nguyen, Tonight I came in here looking for you, but you were
far away, and I had danced with your friend. I was in his arms and
followed his steps. He led me to dance on the floor, and my soul was
rolling with the music. The Blue Danube song that you had love and
sing in a very low voice near my ear while we danced on the floor. I
love your voice; it was warm and had a little bit of sorrow since it
attracted me to listening and loved the song. Now...I danced with
Phong on the floor because I remembered you...I didn't hear your
voice!

Phong holds me with his gentle, strong arms but I felt unsafe,
and my body was so cold, it was not warm like I was in your arms
three years ago. He always looked at me, but his sight eyes could not
give a tingle on my body, or make my feet weak to fall against him.
